Found some over the weekend. Thanks everyone!

I am looking for a set of the original wheels with dog dish hubcaps for my 1971 521. I am interested in anything similar from a 520, 620 that would apply. I am located in AZ so let me know if there is anyone local or if we can arrange shipping. Rick.

Thanks for the advice it should be fixed now.

Hello all I am Rick and I am new to the site and new to the Datsun scene in general. I have received a lot of good information from these forums when purchasing my 521 so I thought I would join now that I have one to see if I can return the favor. My Pop's had a 68 Datsun p/u when I was a kid so when I had the chance to pick one up I did. I have a 1971 521 she is an AZ truck so the rust is limited and overall health is pretty good. Passed Maricopa county emissions last week so that is a good start. I was a welder in my past career so I have already started on the body work to straighten a few dents and dings here and there. Future plans: -Paint: I am looking at doing an artificial patina paint job to keep it humble and so i don't have to worry about beating it up too bad. -Replace the broken parts; Dash cluster, side marker lights, weather stripping, door locks, clean up what seems like a synchro issue with 2nd gear, etc. -Suspension, I am looking at a small drop and want to pick up some OE wheels and white walls for it. If there is anyone in the Phoenix area that meets up let me know? I am interested in purchasing or bartering for parts as well so let me know. Thanks
